I am suffering from fatty liver. My SGPT (ALT) is 295 now. Doctor prescribed me NUSAM 400. I want to know how good it is and regarding side effect. As it is very costly, 10 tablet strip cost Rs. 408.00, i want to know if any tablet exists with same composition with lesser price and if as good as NUSAM? ## Hi MIKEB, Based on my research, NUSAM 400 is a nutritional supplement that contains the active ingredient S-Adenosyl methionine (ademetionine, AdoMet, SAM, SAMe, SAM-e). In the United States and Canada, SAM is sold as a nutritional supplement under the marketing name SAM-e (also spelled SAME or SAMe; pronounced "sam ee" or "Sammy"). SAM is also marketed under the Gumbaral, Samyr, Adomet, Heptral, Agotan, Donamet, Isimet and Admethionine brand names as a prescription dru...

I refilled my monthly subutex Tuesday and received orange oblong tablets inscribed 153. My pharmacy has carried 54/111 over three years. Does anyone know if the orange ones are going to permanently replace all other generic Buprenorphine? Also, are any other patients experiencing loss in quality?

Sammy I have had a sore mouth for up to 1 year and I have been doctors and dentist all they gave was mouth wash my throat feels like it's closing up I had a biopsy in my mouth wait for results but I'm in agony canthe eat and sleepilepsy good when I brush my teeth it brings me to tears as mouth and lipsee sting so long much ## That is very unusual. I am so sorry about what you're going through, Sammy. Have you gotten the biopsy results back, yet? Do you take any medications regularly? The NIH lists this as being a possible side effect of some medications, such as Suboxone sublingual tablets, Tums, as well as some medication conditions, such as oral herpes. Do you have any allergies that you are aware of?

I ran out of Clonidine. can I take Prazosin instead until I refill my script?? And if so how different is the dosages between the two? Is 2 mg of Clonidine the same as 2 mg of Prazosin??? ## Hello, Sammy! How are you? They are not the same type of medication, at all, so there's really no way to compare them. It would be best to refill your Clonidine and continue it, as instructed by your doctor. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, drowsiness and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I believe they are nearly identical. Both are actually alpha blockers. Same dosage. How would one think they are not at all alike? Google it yet? Do! Tell me if I'm wrong. The thing is, I just got home from being prescribed Clon...

I am 52 years old and like walking daily and have knee pain for such long time . One of my friends recommended me to take freeflex tablets twice a day shall I have before or after mail and is really will help me to continue practicing daily. ## Hello, Sammy! How are you doing? Freeflex Forte is actually a nutritional supplement, it contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin, both of which are believed to help with joint health and mobility. Whether or not it helps will depend on what's causing your pain. Have you consulted a doctor to have your knees checked out?

Need a dr. in mesa arizona for prescribing 30 mg oxycodones. i have spinal vertebra disease and now it has affected my knees. i cannot even get out of bed without the help of my children. plz help if u can. thx. sammy ## Hello, Sammy! How are you? I'm sorry, but there's no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. And I'd also like to caution you that if you contact doctors and ask them about prescribing a specific medication in a specific dosage, most will view that as being drug seeking behavior. You really just need to see a doctor, make sure they get a full copy of your medial records, then discuss your treatment options with them, without asking for a specific medication upfront. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it...

Not sure if this is a real percocet smallish white pill blank on one side and the other side has 325 with a score through it and a 5 underneath ## Hello, SammyLou! How are you? Yes, this contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 5mgs of Oxycodone. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Diabetis Mellitus type-II, osteoarthritis, on antidiabetic drug-glimipride- metformin composition and Sammy-200mg for osteoarthritis. Can Ecosprin be administered and will there be any drug interference? If any intereference, then what to be done? ## Ecosprin AV contains Aspirin and Atorvastatin, it is used as a blood thinner and to help lower cholesterol. And I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between taking it with the antidiabetic medications Glimepiride and Metformin, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain. As to the Sam-E, that is a nutritional supplement, not an actual medication, so it hasn't been checked for interactions with medications, thus I have no information on it, but would suggest checking with your doctor. Are there an...

This is the second time I've had jadelle implants. No period but monthly cramps which are really bad. The last cramps I had were excruciating. Felt like I was in labor. My hair is thinning our and I've gained weight but my eating habits are the same. I'm having it taken out. The cramps are unbearable. ## Unfortunately, Sammy, those can be side effects of this medication, according to the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache, and spotting. I am sorry that the cramps were that bad. When are you having it removed? Has anyone else experienced this?

white pills with DB on one side nothing on the other side, easily broken in two ## Hi Sammy, Is there any chance that the letters could be "DP" instead of DB? And are they inside of a hexagon? If so, the round white pill you're describing is reported to be a birth control tablet by the name of Yasmin (drospirenone + ethinyl estradiol). However I noticed you also mentioned that it is easily broken in two... Does this mean that there may be a score line as well? Thanks for any additional info you can provide!

My son has a terrible drug problem but I can't seem to find what they are. I'm told they are kolonopin but they are off white in color & have a slick coating& about the size of a pencil eraser maybe a little smaller.Are these possibly kolonopin? ## Hello, Sammysue! How are you? Do they have any markings on them? If not, they are not a U.S. prescription medication of any type, since they are all required to have markings on them to enable their identification. If there are no markings, it is most likely an over the counter product, of some type, though there is a slight chance it could be a foreign medication. The FDA classifies Klonopin as a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and i...

I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. Omeprazole may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence and stomach pain, as reported by the FDA. Metoprolol may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hair loss. Is there anything else I can help with?

Has the Fentynol patches changed? I'm on 100mg and I use to see a gel substance in the patch. Now with 2 different brands, neither have the gel, and both have NOT worked as well controlling my pain. Any info? ## Hello, Sammy! How are you? Not all of them use the gel formulation and whichever one your pharmacy carries may vary from month to month, depending on which manufacturer was offering the cheapest price at the time they needed to restock their supply. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. You may want to speak to your doctor about the issue to see if they may be able to suggest something that will help, since these one...

How long does it take oxybutinin to work? I just started the pill form 5 mg today, supposed to take 2x daily and only took one so far and still going like crazy ## Hello, Sammy! How are you? There may be some slight effect when you first start taking it, but usually it can take awhile for it to reach a good efficacy level in your body. Really, having taken just one dose is too soon to expect it to do much. If you continue for a week or more and have no results, then you'll need to contact your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is it safe for my friend to take oxybutin from chemist shes weeing none stop and wont go doctors but it is bad the worst ive seen its constant ## Good lord, NO!

I found a pill with V on one side and 22/66 on the other side. It's white and oval shaped, but i can see how similar it looks to the 500mg acetaminophen/hydrocodone tablet, BUT it is NOT vicodin! It is in fact baclofen 20mg. It is not a narcotic. It does however have the active ingredient lioresal, a muscle relaxant. ## Hello Sammyboo, I found a match for the pill you described. What I found is a Baclofen 20 MG Oral tablet (pictured below). The NIH reports that Baclofen is used for alleviating symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
